adManyOneTest: Anderson-Darling Many-To-One Comparison Test

Description

Performs Anderson-Darling many-to-one comparison test.

Usage

adManyOneTest(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
adManyOneTest(x, g, p.adjust.method = p.adjust.methods, ...)
# S3 method for formula
adManyOneTest(
  formula,
  data,
  subset,
  na.action,
  p.adjust.method = p.adjust.methods,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector of data values, or a list of numeric data vectors.

…

further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

g

a vector or factor object giving the group for the corresponding elements of "x". Ignored with a warning if "x" is a list.

p.adjust.method

method for adjusting p values (see p.adjust).

formula

a formula of the form response ~ group where response gives the data values and group a vector or factor of the corresponding groups.

data

an optional matrix or data frame (or similar: see model.frame) containing the variables in the formula formula. By default the variables are taken from environment(formula).

subset

an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used.

na.action

a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. Defaults to getOption("na.action").

Value

A list with class "PMCMR" containing the following components:

method

a character string indicating what type of test was performed.

data.name

a character string giving the name(s) of the data.

statistic

lower-triangle matrix of the estimated quantiles of the pairwise test statistics.

p.value

lower-triangle matrix of the p-values for the pairwise tests.

alternative

a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.

p.adjust.method

a character string describing the method for p-value adjustment.

model

a data frame of the input data.

dist

a string that denotes the test distribution.

Details

For many-to-one comparisons (pairwise comparisons with one control) in an one-factorial layout with non-normally distributed residuals Anderson-Darling's non-parametric test can be performed. Let there be \(k\) groups including the control, then the number of treatment levels is \(m = k - 1\). Then \(m\) pairwise comparisons can be performed between the \(i\)-th treatment level and the control. H\(_i: F_0 = F_i\) is tested in the two-tailed case against A\(_i: F_0 \ne F_i, ~~ (1 \le i \le m)\).

This function is a wrapper function that sequentially calls adKSampleTest for each pair. The calculated p-values for Pr(>|T2N|) can be adjusted to account for Type I error inflation using any method as implemented in p.adjust.
